Review on Vintage Sleeveless Pencil Dress For Women: MUXXN'S Slim Retro 1950S Business Style by Chad Blanchet

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Retro & comfortable

This dress is super sexy & form fitting, perfect for an office type situation with some pearls and heels. I’d throw a jacket over it perhaps because it could distract. Unless that’s part of your strategy. Hashtagdefenselawyers.Chocolate brown is neutral enough that you could color it up with some turquoise heels or nude ones with a colorful faux silk neck scarf.In a pinch I suppose it could work for a party but I see it as more business than pleasure. As long as your business is indoors today. This wouldn’t really work on a site visit or with work boots. I like that despite it being sexy it’s also not very low cut which is awesome for us girls with the DDs. Enough shown without trying. And that it’s down to the knees or slightly below, not showing the knees, yet cut a bit in the fabric on the back which makes walking fast & comfortably totally doable. I’m not doing a yoga class in this dress which is usually a requirement for my business attire, but it’s comfortable enough that I feel hugged, held and professional without feeling restricted or having anything "dig in.” This is why dresses are > than suits every.single.day. I’ll be honest it was a bit hard to zip and I thought "sh - ! - should I have gotten a medium?” No. Small is right for 5’3, 130, curvy athletic, 28 in waist and 32DD. Don’t ask me what my hips are but I wear size 4. Maybe 36 or so? The top IS roomy, again a GOOD thing for if you have breasts. I also have somewhat narrow ish shoulders and didn’t feel anything was dropping or drooping or falling out. The cut is cool. Unusual. Unique. Therefore I’d say this is true to size, and there is room to stretch a little. It is reminiscent of the fifties. I was born in the seventies so I don’t really know but from what I can tell it’s pretty retro. Retro works in the Professional office setting as long as it’s not gaudy or overdone. this is Not lined, either, thank goodness. Lined clothes are so restrictive. I’m one of those "highly sensitive” body types who cannot wear things that cut into my skin and I need stretchy soft fabrics that hug comfortably. yoga pants in court don’t cut it though, sad enough. This works well enough that I might consider a second color. Emerald green maybe if that’s an option.
